By: Caroline Hartford

Area rugs are the perfect way to accent your home in an elegant and cost-effective way. These area rugs are like carpet in that they are a floor covering which can be used to cover whole rooms or for partial cover, but they are removable for easier cleaning or redecorating, which is unlike carpet.

One of the most popular variety of area rugs are Persian rugs. This kind of oriental area rug is handmade in virtually limitless color combinations and intricate patterns. The art of Persian rug construction dates back to ancient times, making these rugs highly admired for their artistry and technique. These types of rugs are also enjoyed for their use of natural fibers, usually high-quality, handspun wool.

Tibetan rugs are similar to Persian rugs, in that the Tibetan rug making tradition stretches back for generations. Highland sheep virgin wool is used to make these finely-crafted masterpieces. Colors and patterns are often brighter and busier than in Persian rugs, making these carpets a glorious addition to a living room, bedroom, or even child's room.

Shag rugs are made using an unusual process by which carpet strands are pulled to create a high, soft, luxurious pile that is a delight to both the eye and the feet. These carpets come in a variety of fun colors and offer a more relaxed, contemporary look than oriental carpets; they also add soft area rug padding to your home. Although they are best known as a part of the 1970s aesthetic, Shag rugs are becoming increasingly popular today.

Many people want to choose a contemporary type of rug, but not all rugs can be classified as "contemporary" style. You can get contemporary area rugs in a variety of textures, materials, colors, and patterns. For high quality and durability, look for natural fiber such as wool or cotton. Some of the contemporary rugs are quite popular as they mainly come in interesting geometric designs and bright colors which are great for a child's bedroom.
